- a heater cover 400 over the holes 210 and 220, and heaters 410 and 420 between the heater cover 400 and the holes 210 and 220.
- heater cover 400 is formed such that the heaters 410 and 420 are arranged in a space in communication with each other. It is preferable that the heater cover 400 is a reflective plate for effective reflection of heat from the heaters 210 and 220 to the cooking cavity 250.
- the holes 210 and 220 may include first holes 210 and second holes 220.
- the first holes 210 are far from the door 300, and the second holes 220 are between the first holes 210 and the door 300.

Then, there is a slight space between the fan housing 600 and the inside wall of the inner case 200, in which, as shown in FIG. 2, the fan 710 is provided, which is connected to a fan motor 720 arranged between the inner case 200 and the outer case 100.
- the fan 710 may be, for an example, a centrifugal fan for drawing air in an axial direction and discharging the air in a radial direction.
- the fan housing 600 has a plurality of apertures 610 and 620. As shown in FIG. 2, the apertures 610 and 620 may include first apertures 610 for introducing air into the cooking cavity 250, and second apertures 620 for discharge the introduced air. A plurality of the first apertures 610 are formed in a front surface of the fan housing 600, i.e., a surface opposite to the door 300 so that the fan 710 draws air from the cooking cavity 250. At least one second aperture 620 is formed in a side surface, for an example, an upper surface of the fan housing 600, so that the fan 710 blows the air to the fans 410 and 420.

If the second aperture 620 is formed in other side of the fan housing 600 too, a portion of the air drawn into the fan 710 from the cooking cavity 250 is blown to the heaters 410 and 420, and the other portion of the air is blown to the cooking cavity 250, again.

- the fourth heater 440 in accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the present invention may include only a grill heater.
- the electric oven in accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the present invention may further include a third heater 430 in the upper part of the inner case 200 in addition to the first heater 410 and the second heater 420.
- a third heater 430 in the upper part of the inner case 200 in addition to the first heater 410 and the second heater 420.
- third holes 230 are provided to a part adjacent to the door 300, and a second heater cover 470 is provided over the third holes 230.
- a space is formed between the third holes 230 and the second heater cover 470, and, as shown in FIG. 2, the third heater 430 is arranged in the space.
- the third heater 430 may be, for an example, a ceramic heater.
- the electric oven in accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the present invention may further include a fifth heater 450 arranged along the upper space of the cooking cavity 250.
- the fifth heater 450 may be, for an example, a sheath grill heater.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a flow chart showing a method for controlling an electric oven in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the first heater 410, a halogen heater, and the second heater 420, a ceramic heater generate heat.
- the heat from the first heater 410 and the second heater 420 is transmitted to the cooking cavity 250, directly, or after reflected at the heater cover 400.
- the fan 710 also rotates as the power is provided to the electric oven.
- the air in the cooking cavity 250 is drawn to the fan 710 through the first apertures 610, and discharged through the second apertures 620.
- the discharged air moves to the first heater 410 through the first holes 210, and heated as the air passes through the first heater 410 and the second heater 420 in succession. Since the heated air moves to the food on the tray 460 in the cooking cavity 250 through the second holes 220, the food receives the heat from the first heater 410 and the second heater 420, more effectively.
- the air cools the first heater 410 and the second heater 420, overheating of the first heater 410 and the second heater 420 is prevented. If the third heater 430 is provided, the third heater 430 heats the food located adjacent to the door 300, more effectively.
- an air flow passed through the first holes 210 is guided by the heater cover 400.
- the heater cover 400 is designed such that air passed through the first holes 210 passes the first heater 410 and the second heater 420, and escapes through the second holes 220 smoothly.
- the temperature sensor 490 keeps measuring a temperature of the first heater 410, the halogen heater.
- the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 490 is transmitted to a controller (not shown), and the controller compares the temperature measured by the temperature senor to a preset temperature, and controls the fourth heater 440, the sheath grill heater, by using a compared value.
- a process for the controller to control the fourth heater 440 will be described.
- the controller provides power to the fourth heater 440 if the temperature measured at the temperature sensor 490 is below 500°C. Then, the fourth heater 440 generates heat to elevate the temperature of the cooking chamber 250 to a high temperature, uniformly.
- This supplements a disadvantage of the halogen heater which generates heat at a high temperature, instantly. That is, though the halogen heater generates heat at a high temperature instantly, the halogen heater can not heat the cooking chamber temperature uniformly, failing to transmit heat to the food uniformly. Therefore, if power is provided to the fourth heater 440, the sheath grill heater, because the fourth heater 440 heats the cooking cavity 250 uniformly, a problem caused when only the halogen heater is used can be solved.
- the temperature preset at the controller may be the highest allowable temperature that secures a long lifetime of the first heater 410, the halogen heater.
- the temperature preset at the controller may be temperatures set separately for cooking different kinds of food at optimal conditions.
- the controller cuts power to the fourth heater 440, to prevent overheating of the cooking cavity 250, the first heater 410, and the second heater 420. In this instance, the power is kept provided to the first heater 410 and the second heater.
- the temperature sensor 490 keeps measuring the temperature of the first heater 410, the halogen heater, and the controller compares the measured temperature to the preset temperature, and controls the sheath grill heater, i.e., the fourth heater 440.
